I'm seriously considering selling my iPhone over Apple's recent behavior toward developers, even knowing it would make an insignificant dent in their value. Rejecting applications that reduce iTunes lock-in is bad, but forbidding discussion of rejection decisions themselves is completely unconscionable. Bravo, Apple--you've one-upped the worst possible future for computing I had previously imagined.

Wow. Nice one, Apple.
Android? The G1 is looking like a pretty attractive alternative, right now. I hate the on-screen keyboard anyway.
Yeah, I'd love a slide-out keyboard. Wikipedia: T-Mobile G1 says it's only available for T-Mobile at this point, though, and we're contracted with AT&T through my family for a good while.
Happily, we've found my old clamshell, so I do have something to hold me over in the interim.
Yeah, I can't stand cell phone contracts. There's something wrong when people sign up for a service with known horrible customer service and agree to pay them a significant sum of money if they ever want to stop being a customer.
I like my prepaid phone. Doesn't have the fancy add-ons, but I never have to spend hours on hold, speak to a patronizing piece of software, or wring my hands over hundreds of dollars of bogus charges.
Yeah, that's sounding really nice right now.
I think I might just give my iPhone to 'Brozy instead of getting her an iPod. That way I'm meaningfully hurting Apple.
noooooo now what will I complain about
